(b) Brockley station - and all the other LO managed stations, remain

Rail, and day to day management is done by TfL's chosen operator
LOROL - but I think TfL's London Rail division are rather more
involved in 'bigger stuff' like renovation projects etc.


Everything in their own 'signs standards' suggests that sign is the
wrong way round, doesn't it?


Not sure about that actually - if memory serves me right, most of the
signs on the NLL are that way around, with the roundel at the top...
let me see... yes, roundel at the top, NR symbol below - examples:

Where an Overground station interchanges with the rest of the National
Rail network and that property is owned by National Rail, it is the
National Rail logo that is displayed before the Overground roundel.

I've just thought of something else - which might add to the confusion.

The design standards refer to 'owned by National Rail' - if we read that as
'owned by a National Rail TOC', where 'owned by' is short for 'station
facility operator is' it makes sense. The station in this case is 'owned by
LO' even though the freeholder is Network Rail. IYSWIM...
